Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies have two of my favorite ingredients in them–chocolate and peanut butter. I make them every Christmas.

Place Baked Cookies on Wire Rack to Cool - Make Christmas Cookie Trays

These cookies are perfect for holiday gift giving. I love to add this recipe to my cookie trays. When deciding which cookies to make, I always try to select varying size and colors to make not only a delicious tray, but one that is also pretty. The dark chocolate works well to help divide lighter colored cookies, such as chocolate chip or peanut butter.

A Note About Ingredients

Instructions For Making This Recipe

Ingredients for this Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F. Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Make the Cookie Dough

In a small bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix in large eggs and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to scrape the bowl as needed.

Gradually beat in flour mixture, again, scraping the bowl as needed. Last, slowly stir in the peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.

Form and Bake the Cookies

Drop Balls of Dough onto Prepared Baking Sheets

Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, three to each row, for a total of twelve on each sheet.

When baking cookies, I like to use cookie scoops so all of my cookies are the same size (or at least close to the same.) The brand I prefer (and trust) is Vollrath Disher Scoops. It was the brand my grandma favored when she was a school cook, so I followed her lead on this one. For this cookie, I used the Black Scoop, Size #30 (1 oz). You might also try the Red Scoop, Size #24 (1 1/3 oz).

Place Baked Cookies on Wire Rack to Cool

Serve cookies with a tall glass of ice cold milk. This recipe will make 3-4 dozen.
